So many friends around here have been asking for pictures..so I decided to start posting them here. I'm no Jane2 with photos, but at least you'll get to see things that I enjoy everyday here in Singapore. I will also post pictures that I take when I visit other Asian countries...like Thailand which has become like a third home to me. 
Sunrise from my office... 
Another day starting... 
Sitting in Starbucks outside my office building... 
Fountain of Wealth (the largest fountain),also outside my office building...

Does Starbucks have the same US menu?

Thanks for sharing. That sunrise is beautiful. What were you doing in the office that early?
I haven't been to Singapore since I was a kid. I remember it being insanely clean.
I grew up in Bangkok, and visited last summer. I hated living there, but had the best summer of my life last year. Bangkok is fantastic.
nitsua, I don't know about Singapore, but Starbucks in Thailand is not affordable for middle-class Thai people. The menu is roughly the same, but not as much to choose from (syrups, etc).. Also, their iced Venti cups are 3/4 the size of the iced Venti cups in the States..and there is no additional charge to soy milk.

papa stole my joke. 
I know that fountain, boobs! It was featured on Amazing Race Asia! Yes, I actually watch the Asian franchise of my favorite reality series. You should visit my uncle in Okinawa. He's a hoot! I'm glad to hear things are going well and I hope your experience is rich and fulfulling. But as they say...

BB, Singapore looks a lot like Florida. Maybe you should come visit me instead.

For some reason I thought this would be a photo shoot of Asia Argento. I've had my mind on films all morning.
I always like seeing people's pictures of different parts of the world - the non-professional daily life stuff. One thing I notice here is the prevalence of the English language, in the signs, on the fountain... like Russia and Eastern Europe. The world is getting smaller and smaller.
Thanks, I'll look forward to more. (Your sunset photo looks almost like one I took in Minsk.)
Oh, if anyone's curious about Asia:

Posted: 5/15/08 at 1:16pmI'm a fan of that Asia too. Very few women can pull off a tattoo that large.

This is my usual meal...Ban Mien..as you can see very spicy..

Here are some photos from my weekend in Bangkok...it's so easy to fall in love with Thailand. The people there are so gracious too...well as long as they're not trying to drag you into some bar that you really don't want to go into...lol.

Posted: 5/18/08 at 9:07amThanks for the compliment, boobs, but your pictures are great! I'm one person who loves to see others' photos, even if they're NOT great-I find all photos interesting and informative. Keep 'em coming! xoxox
